I’ve been thinking about team building – how to do it successfully, what matters, etc. Part of what sparked it was that ubiquitous HBR article by Walter Isaacson about the real leadership lessons of Steve Jobs. The main whaled on people, but they were loyal to him. BTW, how do you square that? My main assumption is that if you’re committed to excellence and seeing people deliver excellence (and you make sure money is not an object), people will follow you (if they’re the right people).
That aside, there is actual research on the amount of positivity you need in a typical team to raise it to new heights – the Losada line. This just seems like stuff every manager should know.
